Island Lake Angler Survey
Island Lake Conservation Area (ILCA), formerly known as Orangeville Reservoir, is located on the east side of Highwy 10 north of Highway 9 near the Town of Orangeville . Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) has been operating the reservoir to augment flow for the Orangeville Sewage Treatment Plant, but with the secondary benefit of providing a recreational resource. Home to largemouth bass, northern pike, black crappie, rock bass (all introduced to the reservoir), bullhead, sunfish and yellow perch, it has become a popular fishing destination in both the summer and winter months. For many years, largemouth bass have been promoted as a catch and release fishery, with a secondary management goal of maintaining northern pike at low numbers. More recently, voluntary harvest limits for panfish (e.g. yellow perch and black crappie) have been introduced.
CVC is committed to providing excellent angling opportunities at both ILCA and KWRMA , and as such, is looking to develop Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs) for both properties. To that end, angler surveys have been developed for both the winter and summer fisheries. The purpose of these surveys is to assess angler satisfaction, issues, and future opportunities. Surveys are available at both locations and CVC staff have also been conducting personal interviews periodically.

The surveys will be summarized and a draft plan developed over the summer. A public meeting seeking additional input is anticipated in the fall of 2006. Please check this web page in the future for additional details.

Ken
Whillans Resource Management Area
KWRMA Angler Survey
Ken Whillans Resource Management Area is located on the west side of Highway 10 north of Olde Baseline Road , just northeast of Inglewood . Two fishing ponds provide angling opportunities for northern pike, largemouth bass and more recently, stocked rainbow trout. The Credit River also flows through the property, providing angling opportunities for naturalized brown trout. CVC is committed to providing excellent angling opportunities at both ILCA and KWRMA, and as such, is looking to develop Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs) for both properties. To that end, angler surveys have been developed for both the winter and summer fisheries. The purpose of these surveys is to assess angler satisfaction, issues, and future opportunities. Surveys are available at both locations and CVC staff have also been conducting personal interviews periodically.

Terra
Cotta Conservation Area
Credit Valley Conservation has
commenced the development of a Management Plan
for the land complex entitled Terra Cotta and Silver
Creek Conservation Areas . Our Management Plan
will ensure that we can cater to both current and
future needs to meet the the challenge of balancing
the conservation of its natural environment with
the pressures of increasing use.

endeavour, please click

As the temperature drops ice will start to form on the lake. Please beware of these dangerous ice conditions - keep off!
Limehouse
Conservation Area
In 2006, CVC commissioned George Robb Architect to stabilize the draw kiln at Limehouse Conservation Area. Stabilization work required removal of the most unstable top portions of the structure while "strapping" the remaining portion with airplane cable and lengths of 2X2 wood. This work will stabilize the structure in the immediate future while decisions about its long term conservation are made and the necessary funds are raised. Click here to view photos.
CVC also obtained archaeological assessments and documentation of the existing structure. The Limehouse Kiln Society and its partners will use the information in future conservation efforts.
For questions or comments regarding the draw kiln stabilization work please call Eric Baldin, Conservation Lands Planner, Credit Valley Conservation, (905.670.1615 x224)
